Can someone show a close up of one bolted to a 69 Camaro?

Could not find any directions posted on line, and would like to see how they bolt up.

I had a snipe bid set to go, but there was a bidding frenzy at the end, and my snipe was not enough.

Went for $375 plus shipping.

Paul needs to make another run. His look identical.

Agreed, Paul’s tabs look perfect. Better decision to hold out!

I just picked up a pair of originals with the pins for significantly less than what these went for, needless to say, I got lucky. I would have liked to have the ones on eBay as mine have some pitting; nothing a little body work can't fix. I agree that Paul's are so close to the originals that if available, I'd choose those before I pony up the cash for some OEM ones.

Are the ones for a '67 Camaro different?

Lynn,

Easier to hit Paul up through Facebook. I sent him a quick msg there with a link to this thread. He should chime in and usually responds through Facebook pretty quick.

Graeme

He already responded and said he'd head over here in a bit.

Thanks for thinking of me guys. I'll try to post a pic of the 69 Camaro tabs I have left over from last year. I think there are like 3 or 4.

Those silver ones on ebay were pretty nice. Not too neat up, but imperfect enough to give a hint to their history and use.

I'm bias towards any original sets which aren't all bent up.

The 69 Camaro ones are pretty hard to find. I think the ratio is like 20:1 for 67/68 Camaro tabs to the ones for a 69. I've never had a need to do a run of tabs for th 67/68 cars.

They are not that different from the 69, so I have made a set here and there for people wanting clean, smooth steel. With just a little patience, the 67/68 tabs turn up kinda frequently.

Every set of tabs tell a story. Some speak to me more than others. I've personally spent more for a single pair of tabs, than this auction brought. Glad to see there are others who enjoy them like I do.

I also want to thank you for your kind words. The tabs was something my dad and I started doing and we still enjoy it and enjoy hearing your feedback.
